Lexington Probation Revocation Attorneys

Just because you messed up, it doesn’t mean you have to end up serving your time. Our three-hundred-sixty degree approach means that we can match you with an appropriate treatment provider or alternative sentence.

The most common cause of criminal convictions is addiction. The sad reality of addiction is that it is difficult to overcome and users frequently relapse. Expecting someone with a heavy habit to pass every drug test is unrealistic. If you or a loved one have a setback while you are on probation, we can help. Contact our Lexington criminal defense attorneys at Baldani Law Group PLLC to figure out what to do next. We can listen to the facts and help you decide what is best for you.

“Mr. Clark basically saved my life. He believed in me when no one else would. Not only that he had to fight to overcome obstacles for me. The prosecution just assumed I was guilty and offered me a life sentence. Brad Clark went the extra mile for the truth. In the end he saved this man’s life, for that I will always be grateful. Thanks again, sincerely Nick”

Client Testimonials

Tucker is good at what he does and it shows. I couldn’t ask for a better lawyer. He treated me more like a friend than just another client. Money well spent. I would recommend him to anyone in search of a criminal defense lawyer. I asked around who was the best lawyer in town, I was told Baldani Law Group. The many people that recommended Baldani Law Group were all correct. Thank you, everyone, for the great advice and thank you, Tucker, for representing me so well. VERY PLEASED with the outcome of my case. - Wayne

Abe Mashni is not only an absolutely phenomenal and extremely diligent attorney, but also selfless and compassionate for the person he represents, going above and beyond what may be considered the acceptable expectation, in trying to achieve what some may find impossible. Well, nothing is impossible with Abe by your side! I can attest to that personally. I was arrested and charged with DUI, in relation to a medical condition I have, and Abe was able to provide medical information to the court, and my DUI was dismissed. - Tonya

I’ve worked with Abe. He’s an amazing man. Always keeps his word. Gets the job done in a fast timely manner. He’s the truth. All the time. - Simone

Ok, where can I start? My son got into some trouble and we didn’t know what to do, the courts was going to use him as an example and lock him up until he turned 18. My son is 13 with special needs. I found Abe and told him what was going on and through a big heart and all-round kindness he gave me a big break on his fees and got my son probation when all hope was about lost. So here’s a VERY special thanks to Abe, God bless. - Robert Perez

Tucker Richardson worked really hard for me and did not give up during the arraignment for my second Alcohol Intoxication charge to prove there was no probable cause for my arrest. His effort and persistence ultimately led to the judge not wanting to send my case to trial and the charge of AI against me was dismissed and that saved me from having an alcohol related charge on my background check and having more legal trouble/fees in my life. Tucker has done wonders for me. - Patrick

Too bad you can only give five stars!! Frankly, I’ve had to use the services of Tucker and Brandi more often than I want, but what a super job they did. They are professional, but they don’t lose that personal connection. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone, anytime. Love you guys!!!! - Nancy

I worked with Abe Mashni on a case that spanned more than a year and a half. There was not a day from the moment I started working with him to the judge’s final ruling that I felt I was in anything but the best hands. He kept me informed, gave me sound and educated advice, and used his brilliant legal mind to get me a fantastic outcome. I was extremely impressed, and I do believe that the judge was too. - Meghan

Abe is the best lawyer available. It was really a pleasure working with him. I would definitely recommend my friends or any other family member to consult Abe. - Lekhaj

Brandi Lewis is amazing!!! Great communication, clear expectations, efficient and effective. We honestly could not ask for more from her!!! This entire team is a very reputable office that should be used with any legal needs. Thanks for everything!!! - Kyleigh
